Integrative project 1 – TA quantum analogies for QIS (Leads Deymier, Hasan)
NewFoS will ensure US leadership in a complementary approach to quantum technology without suffering from the fragility of quantum systems. By exploiting the quantum analogies and coherence of spin in TA waves, NewFoS will set foundations to transition to promising and validated modes of storing, processing, and retrieving massive information.
Integrative project 2 – TA wave RF devices (Leads Alù, Lucas, Wang)
NewFoS will enable a generational revolution in wireless technologies by developing the first operational, low-cost, miniaturized, low-power, and functional TA proof-of-concept devices that exploit acoustic spin and robustness for advanced telecommunications.
Integrative project 3 – TA sensing of the natural environment (Leads Beck, Ruzzene)
NewFoS will overcome the current limits of remote-sensing technologies to monitor the natural environment in response to climate change. We will develop a TA geometric phase-based sensing modality for remote high-sensitivity, direct, and continuous monitoring of forested areas threatened by climate change (e.g., permafrost thawing in the boreal forest or soil dryness to guide wildfire prevention in the US).
